The Mind of a Genius

   Guys, everyone. Hi back, at ngayon lang uli ako nag-post. Paaon ba ‘to, di ko alam kung saan ko sisimulan itong very disturbing topic na to eh. Siguro, talaga, sa pagkakakilala nyo sa akin, hindi pa ako nagpapakita ng galit, kahit kanino. Wala akong balak, at kahit kailan ay hindi ko gagawin. Well, technically, hindi sa tao ang galit ko ngayon. Sa pag-iisip nila sa isang bagay na kinagagalitan ko, ito yun. Mag eenglish muna ako for the next two paragraphs, kaya pasyensya sa walang balak mag call center ^_^.

   Destiny. One would define this occassion as the planned meeting of two souls, their strings of destiny entwined. Others would give this as the inevitable happening of their dreams. For me, this is a lewd and very insensitive way of telling yourself that everything will become all right.

   For me, and i have proven this, destiny does not exist. If this does exist, then why am i going against the current nature of man? Is it not a man’s destiny to follow his basic instincts? Or is it a destiny for me to go against what you see is impertinent disobedience to the law of our human nature? Then, which is which? What am i destined for? If i am destined, then what of you? This simple explanation of why destiny can’t exist is because, i choose it to be.

   I have never believed the semisweet idea of being destined for one another. First of all, I don’t expect anyone to understand me, as me. There goes the perfect idea of someone desperately reaching for a hand that is not there. I therefore believe, that what you have, right now, is the hand that you have to take care of. I’ve seen two different people, striving against the odds, just to be one another, and i say, this isn’t the work of destiny, this is of their own choice. Their own choice. If fate proved to be working for them, then what of the other otions that could happen? Destiny cannot exist, because there is choice.

   Do not believe what your ears is telling you. The sound that you hear may not be the sound that you do want to hear. Instead, it is your own hand, your own faith, that can really prove the ending of your own story. Believe me, once you figure this out, then you’ll know the true meaning of being an optimist.

   Whew, so natapos din ako. Yun lang naman. See you folks, again next time, on The Jero Show!!

( Bago ang lahat, kailangan ko munang sabihin na ang mga nakasulat dito ay pawang kathang-isip lamang at walang kinalaman sa totoong buhay. Ang mga impromasyong inyong malalaman ay nakalahad sa aking sinuslat na manga at nag-lalayout lang ako ng para-scientific bases para dito. Enjoy and Chiao)

Elemental Control - Part I

   The control and manipulation of elements are mostly varied throughout one human being to another. As such, each must develop their own characteristics for spell casting. However, there are primarily two parts in which the control of the elements are necessary.

   The body is composed of the real world energy, which is mainly obtained through the nourishment it gets from food, water, etc. Meanwhile, the ethereal energy, or life-force, is always present in the atmosphere, and can freely transcend from one part of reality to another. The real world energy and the ethereal energy, also called ‘the stream of magic’, mixes together and forms what alchemists call the ‘outer form’.

   As the caster tries to control the elements, the outer form relaxes and spills out a part of its ethereal energy. Then, by the process, if the etheral energy runs low, it can render the body numb, because the real world energy supports also the part where the ethereal energy is used to be. As such, it is very important to know that depleting the caster of all his ethereal energies can kill him.

  Like the caster, there are different ways to control the various elements. There are exactly NO SAME PROCESSES to control the elements. With that in mind, we must start to destinguish the different types of magic manipulation and how each process is done.

Type I - Elemental Control

The Fire Element - controlling the element of fire is a pretty arduous task. The fire, being an element of high energy content, spiritual and real-world, the caster must match those energies given off by the element. As such, only a handful of casters knows how to really control the fire element. Normal mages can only use it for so long and then run out of spiritual energy, completely drained. But the others have a very sneaky way of controlling the fire element, but its power is not as great. Using a catalyst substance, they control that substance from which the fire is existing, and that makes an illusion of them controlling fire. This may be important in some situations, but as a real substitute to the real power of the fire, it can never match it.

The Water Element - arguably, the easiest element to manipulate, the caster can, in lack of terms, mold a container form of his energies and through that, let the water flow in it. Another way of controlling the water element is by manipulating the molecules of the water. With the second form, the caster has the same skills as the basic water caster, but as an advanced user, he can concentrate the water molecules and turn it into its various forms. (I.E, steam, ice).

The Earth Element - in terms of raw power, this might not be the easiest element to conjure, but its array of uses and its energy usage, is the best among the elements. Every earth element can be used as a defensive, and more importantly, an offensive weapon. Earth element manipulation is the backbone of necromancy.

The Wind Element - almost the same as the earth element, but its maneuverability, is like that of the water element. Accuracy and precision is the order of the day here, as its main attribute is its knockdown power. When the caster has perfect control over the element, he can increase the wind pressure, and use it for his own purposes. (turning the wind into an unseeable, almost solid weapon; crushing the enemy in the impact of the wind pressure, etc.)
